Thanksgiving

Hi all,



I'm currently writing this blog while I'm in Springfield, Missouri. It's about a 3hr drive south-west from St. Charles. Paddy, Chev and Myself made the trip down here on Tuesday night to stay at fellow Australian Pat Bergin's house for Thanksgiving. Bergin is a swimmer at Missouri State University, I hadn't met Pat before this trip but chev and Paddy are good friends with him. He is a great bloke and now a good mate. Bergin and his Canadian housemate Eric have been unbelievable hosts for my first Thanksgiving. The meal that Eric and Francy cooked for the group was amazing and is certainly the best meal I have had since being in the states.



Since my last post I have just been doing the same as usual; a lot of training, more familiarising myself with the nightlife of St. Charles and adding in some uni work when I can. My training is coming along well I think and have really noticed improvement since I came off my break. I hope to do better at Bay Crits in Melbourne this coming January and the way my training is going I think I should be OK. It is two weeks today until I head back to Australia and although I won't be seeing some of my friends I have over here for 6 weeks I am really looking forward to seeing my family and friends back in Oz over the break, can't wait to get home and catch up everyone.

I will add some photos as soon as I can of my time in Springfield, but until next time stay safe.
